NHM Chandigarh Medical Officer Recruitment 2026: Apply for 7 Contractual Posts

This opportunity is ideal for MBBS graduates who have completed their compulsory one-year rotatory internship and possess at least six months of post-qualification work experience or a House Job. Candidates must be registered with a State Medical Council or the Medical Council of India. Those with specific preferential experience in Casualty, Gynae & Obs/Paeds, or NTEP, particularly for relevant specialized roles, will find themselves highly suitable. Individuals seeking contractual engagement in public health initiatives within Chandigarh will benefit most.

This role is not suitable for individuals seeking permanent government employment, as all positions are contractual with an initial term up to March 2027 (extendable). Candidates lacking the mandatory MBBS degree, one-year internship, or the six months of post-qualification experience should not apply. Those unwilling to work on a consolidated salary basis or travel to Chandigarh for a walk-in interview without TA/DA reimbursement will find this unsuitable.

Working as a Medical Officer under the National Health Mission (NHM) and PM-ABHIM in a Union Territory like Chandigarh offers valuable exposure to significant public health programs and direct experience within the government healthcare system. While the roles are contractual, they provide a stable remuneration and a chance to contribute to essential healthcare services, enhancing professional profiles. Career progression and long-term stability largely depend on project extensions and future recruitment cycles, offering a solid foundation for further career development in public health.
